Hillary Clinton Conveys President Obama's Appreciation to Egypt's President Morsi for Moderation by Muslim BrotherhoodSecretary of State Hillary Clinton expresses President Obama's appreciation to Egypt's President Morsi for the Rotary-Club-Like Moderateness of his Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt in seeking only moderate death penalties for blasphemy.

Defenders of the progressively nuanced nature of Obama's response to Islamic demands for criminal punishment of blasphemy defend his approach against criticism by the right-wing crazies (who foolishly think blasphemy should be protected by the First Amendment) do so by stressing the "brilliantly nuanced" nature of Obama's diplomacy in the context of the Arab Spring in the Middle East Middle Ages.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expresses President Obama's appreciation to
Egypt's President Morsi for the Rotary-Club-Like Moderateness of his Muslim
Brotherhood of Egypt in seeking only moderate death penalties for
blasphemy. In the wake of Egypt's
issuance of criminal arrest warrants against Americans in the United States
who participated in making
a movie insulting Islam, some (if not many)
progressives (for two examples go here
and here)
rush to assert that the making of a movie expressing what is known to be deemed
blasphemous by Muslims is the equivalent of "shouting 'fire' in a crowded
theatre" rather than free speech protected by the First
Amendment.

Defenders of the progressively nuanced nature of Obama's response to Islamic
demands for criminal punishment of blasphemy defend his approach against
criticism by the right-wing crazies (who foolishly think blasphemy should be
protected by the First Amendment) do so by stressing the "brilliantly nuanced"
nature of Obama's diplomacy in the context of the Arab Spring in the Middle
East Middle Ages. Meanwhile, in a "tribute" to
the role of Egypt in the "Arab Spring," Obama's critics are shouting
in unison (as they again seek to completely escape bondage via the Red
Sea:) "We must let our Pharaoh go in 2012":

Jim is a proud descendant of 18th Century criminal exiles from England who swam to the Outer Banks when the British ship taking them to a Georgia penal colony sank in a storm near Cape Hatteras. Having the prescience to prevent their descendants from becoming "TarHeels," they immediately migrated to Virginia, where, within just a few generations they worked their way up into poverty. Jim's grandfather was the first in the family tree to see the distant horizons, but his career was cut short by severe injuries he sustained when a cousin cut down the tree.

After a brief stint in the Amry (ours) following graduation from law school, he began his legal career in the state bureaucracy but was never able to break into the federal bureaucracy. Several years later, he entered the private practice of law and co-founded a small law publishing company. Later, finding the publishing of small laws unstimulating and finding his private practice too private to be lucrative, he began writing political satire/commentary. His greatest vice is taking himself too seriously.

Although he regularly teaches Continuing Legal Education courses to lawyers, he's too-often available through he Rubber Chicken Speakers Bureau to speak on politics, satire, etc., at luncheons, dinners, root canals, funerals, etc. His speaking fees are so outrageously high they border on criminal price-gouging, but as a free-market advocate, he defends his fees on the higher moral ground of charging whatever the traffic will bear.
